The Portrait Process

We begin with a photo session at a location you choose. I will take many photographs capturing the sometimes fleeting expressions of the subjects beauty and character. After these are developed, we will go over the material and choose the look we want. Working at the studio, I will then bring the portrait to a point where your input is required — we are collaborators. Changes can be made at this stage, and when we are in agreement I complete the work. The finished portrait will be presented at the studio. Should you see something I need to tweak, I will be happy to oblige.
